Here's what I plan to do:
NXT Car Wash
Smooth Surface Claybar
Show Car Glaze (this is #7 Polish, correct?)
NXT Tech Wax 2.0
Some questions:
1) Are there any things that I should check out first, to make sure I don't ruin his car?
2) Do I need to dry the car before claybar?
3) Do I need to do anything in between claybar and polish, and polish and wax?
Thanks everyone!

If you're going to be working by hand I would get either ScratchX or Deep Crystal Step 1 and then do the following steps.
-NXT Car Wash
-Smooth Surface Claybar
-ScratchX or DC1
-Show Car Glaze (this is #7 Polish, correct?)
it's a pure polish (does not remove scatches or oxidation, it adds depth gloss and beauty)
-NXT Tech Wax 2.0
Go to youtube a search how to apply ScratchX. It's a lot of working detailing a car by hand and will likely take you most of the day.
Post pics if you can.
